📋 About This Mod
Vanilla Gear Redux Project
Formerly known as Mass Outfit Redesign
Story so far...
This is the culmination of a long... long... long work which has been going on since... well, forever.
It started as my project to standardize clothing and armor under one body type that made sense. I moved from converting outfits to a different bodytype, to editing meshes I scavenged out of the internetz, to eventually creating my own models. This project, is how I learnt to mod.
So I scavenged experience, models, ideas and other replacers and merged them into one massive dream.
That means it's not "entirely" my work, some replacers were already in stock and I will refer to my predecessors in credits.
However, that does not mean I'm uploading the same old replacers, I tweaked EVERYTHING.
From just sculpting the shape of an outfit, to improving the rigging to making complete new models this mod takes care of every piece of gear in Oblivion.
DESCRIPTION:
This is a replacer that changes every piece of armor and clothing in Oblivion.
It's for both male and female
Male uses Robert Male body while female uses HGEC (C-D Cup, M lowerbody)
Alter Models:
Some armors, left byproducts when created, some ideas were dismissed, some were born and some were re-used. So we have the Core of the mod which is designed to be covering, lore-friendly and sense-making, but with those byproducts, some alter models were made, usually being the schmecksy versions of the same armors. These go from showing a bit of skin to complete nudity. BE WARNED.
1.- Some models are BBB enabled. This doesnt mean "boobs will jump out of the blue" It just means that it works with breast jiggle ONLY IF YOU HAVE BBB ANIMATIONS INSTALLED. You do, however NEED A SKELETON to use this, REGARDLESS of if you use BB animations or not.
2.- I tried to avoid clipping but it's more resilient than bacteria

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,670 endorsements and nearly 300k downloads—clearly a go-to for visual overhauls.
- Works for both male and female characters, so you don't need separate mods.
- Simple replacer—no gameplay changes, just better-looking gear.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not be compatible with newer mods or patches.
- Replacer mods overwrite vanilla files, so uninstalling might require reinstalling the game or cleaning your data folder.
For Oblivion players who want a fresh look at the vanilla gear without overhauling the whole game. If you're tired of the dated textures and want a quick visual upgrade, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for new armor sets or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder and enable the mod in your launcher or mod manager.
- Make sure to back up your original textures if you want to revert, as replacers overwrite vanilla files.
- If you use a mod manager like Wrye Bash or OBMM, install it as a regular mod to keep track of it easily.
